In June 2019, a workshop presentation of Max Giteck Duykers' opera “Both Eyes Open”, a co-production with the Paul Dresher Ensemble, and featuring a libretto by acclaimed playwright and filmmaker Philip Kan Gotanda.

And coming soon, a new project with Kirsten Broberg.

Ensemble Ipse is a 501(c)(3) contemporary music sextet based in NYC.

Ipse’s mission is to find common threads in works whose stylistic profiles appear, on the surface, as divergent.

The group presents recent music that transcends aesthetic categorization and strives to create a forum for composers on the edges of the mainstream of contemporary music.

To this end, Ipse commissions and performs pieces that fall outside the practical confines of traditional concert resources, including works of long duration, multidisciplinary projects, collaboratively composed pieces, and pieces with unusual or non-standard instrumentation.
